  2. Nuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclide

    See Isotope#Notation for an explanation of the notation used for different nuclide or isotope types. Nuclear isomers are members of a set of nuclides with equal proton number and equal mass number (thus making them by definition the same isotope), but different states of excitation. An example is the two states of the single isotope 99 43 Tc

  3. List of radioactive nuclides by half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radioactive...

    This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds. [1]

  4. List of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides

    The column labeled "energy" denotes the energy equivalent of the mass of a neutron minus the mass per nucleon of this nuclide (so all nuclides get a positive value) in MeV, formally: m n − m nuclide / A, where A = Z + N is the mass number. Note that this means that a higher "energy" value actually means that the nuclide has a lower energy.

  5. Table of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_nuclides

    A chart or table of nuclides maps the nuclear, or radioactive, behavior of nuclides, as it distinguishes the isotopes of an element.It contrasts with a periodic table, which only maps their chemical behavior, since isotopes (nuclides that are variants of the same element) do not differ chemically to any significant degree, with the exception of hydrogen.

  6. Isotope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope

    A nuclide is a species of an atom with a specific number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, for example, carbon-13 with 6 protons and 7 neutrons. The nuclide concept (referring to individual nuclear species) emphasizes nuclear properties over chemical properties, whereas the isotope concept (grouping all atoms of each element) emphasizes chemical over nuclear.

  7. Radionuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide

    A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is a nuclide that has excess numbers of either neutrons or protons, ...

  8. List of elements by stability of isotopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by...

    An even number of protons or neutrons is more stable (higher binding energy) because of pairing effects, so even–even nuclides are much more stable than odd–odd. One effect is that there are few stable odd–odd nuclides: in fact only five are stable, with another four having half-lives longer than a billion years.

  9. Primordial nuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial_nuclide

    The stable argon isotope 40 Ar is actually more common as a radiogenic nuclide than as a primordial nuclide, forming almost 1% of the Earth's atmosphere, which is regenerated by the beta decay of the extremely long-lived radioactive primordial isotope 40 K, whose half-life is on the order of a billion years and thus has been generating argon ...
